RE: Goldberg Ultimate 10-300 build

For what it's worth, I was using a Saito 1.25 in my Ultimate and I have been underwhelmed by its performance. As WarbirdAirRacer mentions, flying at altitude makes a lot of difference. I fly at...

RE: Goldberg Ultimate 10-300 build

baldrick, you might consider contacting Ken (see my 11/21 post) about a carbon fibre landing gear. I bought one from him to replace my Stan's "dural" gear, and I really like it. It's light, very...

RE: Goldberg Ultimate 10-300 build

baldrick, good point about the tri stock and it sounds like the fibre strands and epoxy are a significant improvement. I'm glad you are going with stainless for the cabanes, as I was very...

RE: Goldberg Ultimate 10-300 build

Thanos, Jon has an excellent point in that before you cover your Ultimate, rough install all of your equipment (engine, tank, battery, receiver, servos, pushrods, etc) and check the balance. That...

RE: Goldberg Ultimate 10-300 build

thanosg2004, I think you will be very happy with your Ultimate, and I am glad that you will follow the improvements noted in this forum. For mine, I am using a Saito 125, but since we fly at 3500...

RE: Goldberg Ultimate 10-300 build

Looking for a carbon fibre landing gear that will fit the Goldberg Ultimate. I purchased the aluminum gear from Stan's with my cowl and find it to be too soft, certainly softer than dural lg I have...

RE: Goldberg Ultimate 10-300 build

Since I forgot that biplanes need to be flown down to a landing, I discovered that the Ultimate has a weak spot on the fuselage. When building, be sure to put in some triangle stock in front of and...

RE: Goldberg Ultimate 10-300 build

All of you who are building an Ultimate might want to look at my post "Tail Bracing" under the Sport Flying forum. I'm using Kevlar tail bracing on my new Ultimate; should have used it on the Sukhoi...

RE: Goldberg Ultimate 10-300 build

Tony's idea of putting a point on the end of the wire will help a lot. Another thing I do is insert a small o.d. wire to line everything up, then take it out and put in the connecting rod. Lee

RE: Goldberg Ultimate 10-300 build

For what it's worth, I just purchased a Hobbico AccuCycle Elite and used it today. What a great product! I have a battery pack I use for checking out my systems on the bench (dated 9/03), and...

RE: Goldberg Ultimate 10-300 build

Tony, I just received my June 2006 copy of Model Airplane News and on page 13 Sullivan has an ad for their Flex-Mount. Reading about your trouble getting a Sullivan mount, it seems a little crazy of...

RE: Goldberg Ultimate 10-300 build

Tony, I have used JTec mounts for years. They are available pre-drilled and tapped for nearly all of the engines we use, both 2C and 4C. However, on my Ultimate I'm using the DuBro mount because it...

RE: Goldberg Ultimate 10-300 build

Tony, my cf rods are probably 3/16, but measure around 7/32 od and have the 4-40 pushrod ends. They are so stiff that I don't plan to put them into sleeves, although I have used Sullivan cf rods in...

RE: Goldberg Ultimate 10-300 build

fasa, jon's right about the use of ca and epoxy. The only exception I have to his comments is that when I am sheeting a large surface such as a fuselage, wing, or even the fin and stab on the...

RE: Goldberg Ultimate 10-300 build

Tony, on my Ultimate (still under construction), I'm using carbon fibre pushrods (from Central Hobbies) on two digital servos for elevators and a Sullivan Kevlar pull-pull setup on a digital servo...

RE: Goldberg Ultimate 10-300 build

Tony, I have been following this thread and I am so sorry that your switch quit on you. That's something that could happen to any of us and I guess the only way around it is to install parallel...

RE: Goldberg Ultimate 10-300 build

Great job on the Ultimate, and I really like the battery voltage on the instrument panel. I always run my antenna outside of the fuse, just in case; how do you feel about putting it inside? Lee

Tony, your covering job of the struts looks good. Are you using Monocote or Ultracote? Thanks, Lee
